I find it restrictive since I have to nubulize. This product is not lactose based therefore it is a product I can use for asthma even tho I have side effects of sinusitis and bronchitis. I use as little as possible and continue rebuilding the immune system with alternative care products and homeopathy.

Very Happy - No Longer Need Rescue Inhaler Within a week of starting treatment with the Pulmicort Turbuhaler, I no longer need my rescue inhaler, even with long, strenuous exercise sessions. However, I keep it with me just in case. I highly recommend this product. It does cost quite a bit, but insurance usually covers most of the cost. It makes you feel a little strange with the first few uses, but that goes away. Irritability increases a bit as well, but not that much. Overall, I’m very happy!

Worked Well But Side Effects Were Terrible I tried using this on several occasions. EVery time, after about 6 days of use, I would get a terrible taste in my mouth, very sore and hoarse throat, sores in my mouth and lack of appetite. It was not thrush, but seemed more like fever blisters in my mouth and possibly throat. I rinsed very well, so it wasn't that. It just seems that budesonide and I are not meant to be. Now I take QVAR with good results and only minor side effects.

I depend on this Lifelong athsma had gotten worse in my 40's, and I had begun to have severe palpitations, nervousness, and sleeplessness from albuterol. Doc suggested Pulmicort, and I've been on it ever since. With the help of herbs (Khella, Turmeric, Lobelia and Skunk Cabbage) for the occasional flare-up when I get exposed to animals, I can breathe pretty normally most of the time. I actually take 2 puffs once a day most days, but sometimes forget a day without consequences. If I'm going through a wheezier-than-normal spell, I can increase dose to 2 puffs twice daily. It's expensive without insurance, but I've got a life!

Rated Budesonide for Childhood asthma Report

Pumicort and flixotide for our boy Had very little effect on our boy right through from 3 years to 7 years. Probably a waste of time and risk to our boys health but Singulair seems to work great but is very dissapointing in terms of the Aspartame and possible side effects.

Pulmicort Turbohaler I have been using a Pulmicort Turbohaler now for well over a year and have found it to be, by far, the easiest way to take the medication with the least associated problems. I do not have to co-ordinate the pressing and the breathing which is important for me now that I have also been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia as sometimes my head doesn't work right with my hands. Also I always found it annoying and off putting to have little bits in my mouth if I had had my original inhaler in my bag or pocket as although the mouthpiece was covered for hygiene there was nothing to stop foreign bodies dropping into the tube from above. It does help to keep my asthma under control and I rarely get episodes of breathlessness and wheezing now unless I have absent mindedly forgotten to take it. I also find that if I forget my pulmicort that I get worse oedema in my hands legs and feet and that takes days then to get back under control. It does definitely help to keep my airways less blocked and I can feel benefits within secs of taking it as well. I know it is not meant to act in that way but it always has done with me. It is like my nostrils can now take in clear clean air without struggling against a blockage.
